Reece Needs Your Help to Walk.
You can help Reece walk for the very first time unaided by donating.
Reece is 3 years old and has spastic diplegic Cerebral Palsy. One of the symptoms that affect Reece is that it causes tightness in his legs, so he is unable stand or to walk independently.
National charity, Caudwell Children, is supporting Reece and other children like him by raising money to fund ground breaking treatments and physiotherapy which can help children with Cerebral Palsy walk independently for the first time.
After researching potential treatments to help Reece walk, we have heard about an operation that so far around 100 UK children have had. This is called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR). This is only offered in America, and has a 100% success rate from the St Louis Children’s Hospital in Missouri. They have been carrying out this operation now for over 25 years.
The aim is to raise £45,000 to send Reece to America to the St Louis Children’s Hospital for the SDR operation. To do this we will need as much or as little as you can give, to raise the much needed funds for this amazing little boy.
Anyone interested in helping the Reece Walker Appeal is asked to contact Caudwell Children on 01782 600114 or to donate online visit www.justgiving.com/helpreecewalk
Important note to donors: As long as Reece requires funds to pay for treatment in the United States, Caudwell Children will manage all payments of funds for the family. All donations made will be added to the Caudwell Children SDR Fund and will be used to help Reece and other children with Cerebral Palsy in the UK receive this life-changing treatment.
